Thread: Does anyone not DB a Jedi if they don't fight back?

I had a lady pretty upset with me after taking her out near corelia a couple days back. She had stepped away from the keyboard.
I know I'd hate to lose without a fight, but there's only been one occasion in the past 6 months where my systems crashed and I might have fallen victim to a bh.
This person explained her disgust for bounty hunters as a whole because they'd do something like this. Well, she and I had a fight the day prior and when I ran her out of force she suppressed me, got on a bike, and entered a guild hall. I just couldn't catch up on my old pos machine.
So when she asked why I did it I explained that I don't typically show much mercy when I've technically won a fight. She said I didn't win, she ran out of force. I said, that's typically how I win fights. She didn't like the answer much but I was being completely truthful.I've killed 2 others who weren't at the keyboard but those people mopped the floor with me as I was trying to learn ranged and bh before I caught em snoozin.
Anyway, I know how frustrating it can be to lose a fight on your jediunder cheap circumstances. I had a bh call in a swordsman to help him kill me because I was overt and it ticked me off pretty bad butI never go afk without getting into space, a house, or jumping on a speeder while I hit the bathroom. Heck, I used to offer to let people pay me 200k till people abused it too often.
Am I wrong here? Anyone agree with this lady? I know the majority of the bh's here won't but I thought it'd make for good discussion. If you feel it's wrong tell us why.

you did nothing wrong. I get that all the time from jedi. "you ran me out of force you did not win." or
" i ran because i had no force or i would have killed you" lol that one makes me laugh the most. If you just
fought me for a full force bar then how the hell are you going to kill me if you had force? Why did you not
kill me when the fight started and you are at full force? Or my all time fav. "You did not win. I ran from you."
Sorry if you run and log off thats a win in my book. yes i did not get payed and you did not lose XP but LOL
you ran from me and logged off.
I say congratz. a kill is a kill.
There have been several jedi that I didn't DB not for a payment or a reward, but kind of a reward for not pulling of some of the cheap jedi tactics I see alot. I can list several names but I won't. But I've also been in a bad mood from cloakers etc, or whatever and I know I've killed at least one AFK jedi he didn't have AFK up but he didn't put up much of a fight and appeared to have some macros running for force aura and infusion.
I've also shot a jedi twice and almost had them incapped and backed off to let them gain their bearings because I really enjoy the sport of hunting jedi... But if you are a newb jedi, with a 51k payout on the terminals, and I incap you quickly I've also db'd them just to do them a favor.
I dunno, you have to look at it how you want, if jedi could hunt us afk or not they would most certainly DB as a matter of fact after all the mercy I've shown I don't think it's been returned to me, so I guess the decision is yours and you really shouldn't care how anyone else feels, if you are an afk jedi running macros whatever then you should have logged out, I mean I understand that you can't expect to log out everytime you step up, but jedi can't expect for BH to patiently wait for them to return especially with all the afk/house hiding/root runners/cloakers... We are just a blood thirsty bunch.
Just do what your conscience can handle and remember this is a very small world and the ones you hunt you may end up relying on later.

If the jedi gets vis and does a stupid thing as go AFK or LD because they are to lazy to find a safe place to do that...then so be it. Kill them LD, AFK, or PVP'ing. Most jedi will say they don't care if they get vis, but will cry when they get ganked.
As for jedi running when they run out of force, I would do the same. I like it when they get their force back up and start the poo talk. I like to make them log after they do that. ....if I were to tell a jedi that they didn't win and that I just ran out of action/mind/health..how dumb would that sound?
Some jedi would even complain about the forced PVP. The solution is simple, don't get vis. Many jedi were able to keep themselves off the terms PreCU, why not do the same post. From experience though, the ebay'd jedi are the ones to complain with a passion.They just spent hundreds of bucks for an account, guess I would complain also.
Had a jedi tell me that he was going to report me for stalking him....I about pee'd myself when he said that. I was able to kill him when he went LD a few weeks later.
It happened to me only twice, and both time, i didn't DB.
Once, the LD sign appeared (he never replied to any of my attacks, so he was LD before i attacked him). I waited a little.... He came back online, still incapped and not understanding what was happening... he stood up after a while, saw me next to him.... and told me "errr, thanks for not DBing me".... "If i want easy fight and money, i'll only hunt nunas and black sun fighters".... I attacked again when he was full health again. I lost but he didn't killed me either and thanked me again for the fight.
The second time it happened to me, the guy was AFK.... I usually have no mercy with those kind of players that go AFK in the middle of nowhere. But i choose not to DB him this time. As he told me when he was back, he had to fly away form keyboard very fast because his baby was crying... And i had a proof of it with the next tell that was like "if you want you vaznpfjprozqmoihgrez!!,cedsqlijhnmdez"
"xcuse me again, baby was typing"
So no, i don't DB jedis if they don't fight back. I'm not looking for dead jedis neither for money (i got enough), i'm looking for funand good fights

Well that was not very gentleman like of you. Nor, was it honorable. Killing someonewhen they aren't there. Yes it was not smart on here part, but come on. What do you hunt for money, fun, pure hatred for jedi. Because it most certainly isn't honour.
As for her running, if she is fully temp. Then, that's not cool. Running where is the honour in that.
For myself, honour is something i value greatly so if a bh come up to me and started to fight me and i run out of force, will if i cant win or even fight without it then, i will kneel down andface my defeat with honour. Just like Obi-Wan, when he fought Vader.
Well I posted this here for conversation mostly. I'd personally rather take a payoff than deathblow someone but I do it for 3 reasons.
- Faction
- PVP
- Money
